ACT Computer Science Students Publish Research and Earn Conference Award
The Department of Computer Science at ACT is proud to announce a series of scholarly achievements by its students, including three peer-reviewed publications and the department’s first conference award.
The work stems from this year’s thesis research and includes follow-up projects initiated last year. ACT students presented their research at prestigious academic conferences, alongside MSc and PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, faculty members, and industry scientists. Several of these students are continuing their research efforts beyond graduation, making a strong step forward in undergraduate research excellence at ACT.
- Best Oral Presentation Award at ELEVIT 2025
Filip Ivanis received the Best Oral Presentation Award and a monetary prize at the 11th Panhellenic Conference of the Hellenic Society of Biomedical Technology (ELEVIT 2025) in Athens for his presentation of the paper:
F. Ivanis, G. Beleli, V. Fiska, A. Astaras,
"A Novel Soft-Robotic Glove for Physical Rehabilitation Featuring Adjustable Agonist/Antagonist Muscle Assistance."
(See conference programme and proceedings, p. 157)
- Publication on Assistive Wearable Technology
K. Chaitas, M. Karamichalis, and A. Astaras presented their research on tactile feedback systems for visually impaired users:
"A Novel Wearable Navigation Assistance Device Using Intuitive Tactile Feedback for People with Visual Impairments (Navisense)."
ELEVIT 2025, Athens
(See conference programme and proceedings, p. 156)
- Presentation at MOCAST 2025
A second paper by F. Ivanis, G. Beleli, V. Fiska, and A. Astaras, titled
"Towards a Soft Robotic Glove for Physical Rehabilitation Featuring Adjustable Agonist/Antagonist Muscle Support,"
was presented at MOCAST 2025, held in Dresden, Germany, June 11–13.
